Increase funding for state schools and teachers' pay

Closed 66 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on the government to increase in the amount of funding for state schools, including a fully funded pay increase for teachers, to help solve the issues facing our current state of education.
Inflation and underfunded pay rises for teachers have created put state schools across England under pressure. Basic provision like stationary, heating and SEND staff are being cut.

We think that pay rises for teachers are paltry when compared with inflation and undervalue the profession. Teachers' recruitment and retention is becoming increasingly difficult.

We think that lack of provision harms children's futures. Let's change this together.
